OTHER CITIES much smaller than Alexan-
dria are getting free delivery of mail; why
cannot we? Is the matter being pushed
with proper energy? II so, who is pushing
it? It is said that we must have our streets
properly marked aud our houses numbered:
why does not the City Council have it done?
We are authorized by gentleman TO say
that he knows highly competent man
who will gladly put numbers wherever
they are lacking, without charging q cent
to the city, if allowed to charge each house
holder so furnished twenty Eve cents for
the number. Stir up, gentlemen of the
Common Council you have one more meet
ing yet before your terms expire; sgnalize
it by passing proper ordinance and let u.s.
too have free delivery. "Show lis. now,
that you are worth your breeding" 1t is a
reproach to our old city that this thing has
been neglected and that Annapolis and Ha-
gerstown are to have mail facilities which
Alexandria has not. Who is to bear the re-
sponsibility?

ALEX ANDRIA-
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 1G.

YESTERDAY AT the very time the II. b.
Lee post of Confederate veterans, OF Rich
mond. were marching through Washington
on their way to Boston, to show that with
them the war is only memory, and that
thew aud the people from among whom they
came have now nothing but the kiDdest
feelings for their Northern fellow citizens, o
protest was received by President Cleveland
from the G. A. R. of Ohio, against his recent
wise and patriotic order for the return to the
several States of the flags in the War De-
nartmept that were captured during the
war between the States, inclosed IN letter
from the republican Governor OF that STATE
in which he says: 1.-THE patriotic people OF
this State are shocked and indignant beyond
ANYTHING | can express. | earnestly re-
quest you to revoke the order that has CIV
en- such unqualified ofiense." The Gov
ernor also sent q telegram to Gen. Boynton,
at Washington, asking him to take legal
advice and institute proceedings to enJoln
the return of the "rebel" flags which
were captured by Ohio troops. The
manifestations of restored amity be-
tween the once disunited sections of the
country must ALL according to the G. A. H.,
and the Northern republicans, come from the
South. When exhibited in the North, they
are denounced as evidences of concessions
to TRAITORS and rebels" The fact that
large bodies of men threaten the Presi-
dent with personal insult for vetolng plum
deriug pension bill and publicly denounce
him for approving an order for removing
from the war department reminders of civil
war, shows plainly enough that is too soon
for that political party TO which they belong
to be reintrusted with the control OF the

SENATOR VANCE says: "If the President
cannot hear without offense, the candid
criticism of those friends who differ with
him, he is unworthy OF his great office.
Should I, for the sake of the patronage he
has to bestow, suppress or forego my honest
convictions, l would prove unworthy OF
mine. At all events | would desire Mr..
Cleveland to know that have made no Sc
cret of my opinions concerning his policy at
any time" This is the way every true and
wise democrat should talk. How else can
the President be expected TO know whether
or not his administration is proving salts
factory to the men who nominated and
elected him? Then, TOO, it should not be
forgotten that democratic voters see and
think Just a. we'll ~ the men who pretend
to represent them, and that the fact that
thew not only know that affairs in Wash
ipgton are not going on to suit them, but
that their wishes in that respect are mis-
represented to the President, is by no means
conducive to the preservation of their inter-
est in the success of their party, the more
especially as they also know that the policy
of the administration is to repress all man
Hesitation of such interest by its public de-
claration (which, however, it dsregards

GENERAL FAIRCHILD, COMMANDMENTS
Chief of the Grand Army OF the Republic
at an immense meeting OF that association
in New York, last night in speech de-
nouncing the President for his order direct
ing the return of the flags captured during
the war to their respective States, said
MAY God palsy the hand that wrote the
order May God palsy the brain that con-
ceived it, and may God palsy the tongue
that dictated it." Whether Mr.. Cleveland
can be reelected is. to say the least, doubt
full; but as the South controls democratic
conventions, such talk as this, if persisted
in. will be sure to renominate him.
